Memoirs of the Tea and Literature Society

Welcome et bienvenue, I am Kai. As you might be able to infer, I love tea. Possibly too much, but that is a discussion for another day. You (or whoever in God's name is reading this) are welcome to message me anytime. Adieu untill next time.

The Romanticism of Call Me by Your Name

I watched Call Me by Your Name for the second time last night. I know that it’s slightly controversial (it’s legal, the age of consent in Italy is 14), but the cinematography is exquisite. Plus, who doesn’t love Timothée Chalamet. The way it captured how Elio felt. The way he was hesitant at first and then discovered himself. It was beautiful. 

The only problem is that now I want to escape to a French or Italian countryside, stay in a villa, and find true love. For someone who has never been in love and is in quarantine due to a pandemic, that’s a slight problem. But honestly, the romanticism of it all. Falling in love in the countryside, discovering yourself, being free. Is it too much to want?

Will this become a tumblr for sharing my thoughts?

Yes, it will. Also, no one really is on tumblr anymore (which means, no judgement).

Someone: *is late*

Me: Were we supposed to meet at this time? Is this really the place we were going to meet up? Is it actually Thursday today? Were we even meeting at Thursday? Do I actually know this person? Do they really exist? Do I exist?

today i found out that when monarch butterflies migrate south for the winter, all the ones that go across the middle of lake superior suddenly stop going south and go west for five miles and then continue south. which really freaked scientists out cos like What is in the Middle of Lake Superior what do Butterflies know that We Dont Is This The End Times etc. anyway turns out about a hundred million years ago there was a mountain there and the butterflies still think they gotta fly around it. classic butterflies

[princekarkat]

combine this with the fact that caterpillars literally turn into bug soup in their crystallis, meaning there is no central nervous system to carry over any information, but they seem to retain memories from caterpillar life regardless…

and it brings up a lot of questions about what kind of information can even be stored in genes, like… does genetic memory really exist? what does this mean for humankind? could a race of people develop an instinctual memory of the land like this? are there people whose bones tell the stories of ancient mountains? what about my people? is the diaspora something that can be felt among every one of us? are we all the living cumulation of hundreds of thousands of ghosts?

i am simultaneously fascinated and frightened by this. classic butterflies indeed

Black Lives Matter.

A pretty simple concept I think, but isn’t it crazy? It’s 2018 and people STILL can’t wrap their heads around this. People are still chanting “all lives matter”, Nazis are still meeting up, racists are still the ones making the laws, it’s insane. It’s such an easy phrase to say and such a good thing to believe, it has a nice ring to it too. Why not say it with me then:

Black Lives Matter.
